Yea. This show has reached levels of retardation that has never been seen before on television. I didnt even bring up the horrible gun mechanics and special effects because thats a weekly thing and doesnt need to be pointed out.

The entire episode advanced the plot about 30 minutes in the shows universe.

Its hard for me to even put into words how laughably bad this show is. The fact that it has this "cult" following of "superfans" is proof to me that most of the population could and should be sterilized.

Did I miss anything @Dizee?

You failed to mention John Hinckley Jr getting 20minutes of airtime.

But then again it's not really all the shows fault because IMO the comic didn't have a strong enough story to warrant a TV show.

The best characters all die and two of the best characters aren't even in the comic, Daryl and Merle. And part of the reason of these characters being the best are the actors. Jon Bernthal (Shane) , Michael Rooker (Merle), Jeff DeMunn (Dale), Scott Wilson (Herschel), etc. made the characters better than they were.

The best character is still Daryl. Along with Merle, their character development/archs are a beautiful thing. I could go on for hours talking about how bad this show dropped the ball.  

The main thing is how the show was directed and how the story developed. In Season 1, 2 and the beginning of Season 3 the show felt like a movie in a way. There's something off about the pacing and look of the show. Early on it had a Breaking Bad but with Zombies feel. Hard to explain but it just felt and looked better. Now it seems more like an action movie on TV with some filler episodes. Which really sucks because it could of been one of the greatest shows ever. Sigh.
